Segment 2: BIG Topic - Results Not According to Plan​

Canadiens head coach Marty St. Louis said that this season would be defined by intent not results. Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes have said that the focus should be on sustainable, long-term development.

The Canadiens are currently 20th in the standings which places them outside a top-10 pick in the NHL Entry Draft. This has been achieved with Joel Edmundson and Mike Matheson missing considerable time to start the 2022-23 campaign as well as learning that Carey Price will be unable to play this season.

What has contributed to their success and how does this change plans for management?

For the first eight weeks of the season, the spotlight has primarily been on the new roster of the Montreal Canadiens and its rookies: who would be in the lineup and how would they perform?

Now, the focus will shift slightly to Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes. What has been accomplished in the first year under Gorton?

And what decisions will be made on looming issues before the Christmas break and leading up to the trade deadline? These are the top-5 issues that you, the listeners, asked us to explore. They include questions about Juraj Slafkovsky, Cole Caufield, Jake Allen and Sean Monahan.
